MQ-9 Gas Sensor (CO/Methane)
The MQ-9 Gas Sensor Module is a reliable gas detection sensor designed to detect Carbon Monoxide (CO), Methane (CH₄), and other combustible gases. It is widely used in gas leakage detection systems, air quality monitoring projects, industrial safety equipment, and Arduino/Raspberry Pi-based applications. The sensor provides both analog and digital outputs, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers and development boards.
Built with a sensitive semiconductor sensing element, the MQ-9 offers fast response times and stable performance. The onboard potentiometer allows users to adjust the sensitivity threshold according to their specific application requirements.
